To start, gather your ingredients: chicken wings, lemons, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and butter. Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up, prepare the marinade for the chicken wings. In a small bowl, combine the juice of one lemon with a tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Next, place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the mixture. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
While waiting for the wings to marinate, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease it with butter or cooking spray. Once the wings have finished marinating, arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer without overcrowding them.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. To achieve extra crispiness on both sides of each wing halfway through cooking time flip each piece using tongs.
Once they are done cooking remove from oven let rest for five minutes before serving . Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as-is!
